we have a good many talented scientists but we did not make an effort for many years and we're now behind and paying the price of having the soviet union exploit the propaganda advantage of sputnik as well as the flight of mr. gagarin. >> i have marvin kalb, cbs news correspondent, on the phone now. marvin, is there any doubt in your mind that this happened, that the russians put a man in space? >> i'm almost certain the russians did fire a man into outer space. his name is gagarin. he's 27. it's a great historic scientific feat. >> at that time, we didn't know whether a human could survive in space and here, boom, the soviets send this guy into space and he survived. >> yuri gagarin was something

need to start working hard to catch up. >> i think it's about time america woke up and did something about it. >> i believe it's very impressive for propaganda purposes but i think if we put our minds to it, this country can top that in six months. >> from my perspective as a kid, we were in a race against the russians and the russians were the bad guys and they were winning this race and that meant they were superior to us, and yet they were the bad guys. >> 1960 we had astronauts, we hadn't had anybody in space yet but we were kind of knocking on the door. we wanted to catch up and be the leaders. >> there's another question, doctor, and that is do we have the stuff to do? what would you say that we must do to match that or better it? >> the united states space program is based on the philosophy that we don't want to pull a stunt and risk a man's life. for this reason, there are certain intermediate steps planned before we put a man in orbit.

>> mrs. shepard, can you tell us what are your feelings on this stupendous occasion? >> oh, i don't think i have to tell, do i? i'm so happy. it was beautiful, i thought. >> the gagarin flight was a 10. al shepard's flight was a 1 or a 2. okay? in terms of the capability that it demonstrated. so russians clearly were ahead of us so the attitude is we would like to do something really big but small enough to accomplish it. >> i believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. no single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important for the long-range exploration of space. >> i don't know how he decided we could do that because when we heard about it, we thought they,
